First of all please check the file and printer sharing is enabled in all of
your systems.
if enabled, share a folder in one of the PCs.Note the IP of the PC
Then browse the IP from another PC. take run give \\
If this also not working check the protocol support enabled in your AP.
Whenever I have problems with file-sharing etc it usually has something to
do with how many workgroups you have on the network. Once a workgroup is
installed there doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of it. If all else
fails. Format all PCs and start workgroups from scratch. A bit drastic but
a COMPLETE last resort
